What is it and what is it for?
Connettivina gauze contains the active ingredient hyaluronic acid sodium salt, a substance naturally produced by our body. Localized administration of hyaluronic acid facilitates wound healing.
Connettivina gauze is a medicine for local (topical) use indicated for the treatment of:
- healing of abrasions, grazes, superficial wounds, burns, minor scalds and small cuts, more or less deep, including those that may affect both the nipple and the areola, or the area of skin surrounding it (breast fissures);
- localized skin irritations caused by sun, cold, wind, diaper rash, irritation and dehydration of the skin following radiotherapy (medical treatment that uses high-energy radiation to destroy cancer cells);
- as an adjuvant, for skin lesions (ulcers) due to blood circulation disorders and for wounds characterised by a difficult healing process, such as bedsores.
Talk to your doctor if you do not feel better or if you feel worse after a few days.
